There are many types of encoders. In this blog post, Same Sky will focus on panel mount rotary encoders, explaining how they fundamentally work, along with key specifications and considerations. Rotary encoders can be defined as transducers designed to turn a rotational displacement into an electrical signal which can be read by the host system. An encoder sends out pulses as it is rotated a certain number of degrees, which can be read by a control device and used to determine direction, position, count or speed.
